YARN CAKE HOLDER Filed Nov. 9, 1943 atentecl Oct. 24, 1944 artiste 2 lilialrns.

This invention is a continuation in part of ray application for a yarn calre holder, filed August 9, 1943;, Serial No. tlllifitdl, the object being to provide a holder with interchangeable sleeves of various thicknesses whereby a holder is produced which will accommodate yarn cakes or varying thickness and cakes with opening of difierent sizes as the diameters oi the hodr oi the holder can be increased or decreased by changing the sleeves.

in the drawing: Figure l is a longitudinal section through any improved construction of yarn calre holder, and

t le. 2 is a section taken on line i-t or Fig. l, and

Figs. 3, t and 5 are perspective views of a set of interchangeable sleeves having diflerent diameters.

in carrying out my improvement I employ a construction as described in my application Serial l lo. tilled]. comprising a circular plate i pro vided with a central circular opening 2 in which is secured a tubular body which has a cylindrical bore portion ii and a conical bore portion it, the conical bore portion being for the purpose of fitting the various cone holders. The circeronce oi the tubular body it is reduced, as clearly shown. Thi forms one of the sections oi the holder and can he termed oi any suitable material and the body can be secured to the circular plate by any desired means.

The other section comprises a circular head it carrying a circular plusi which is adapted to entend into the circular bore portion ti and is provided with longitudinally disposed grooves t! in which are secured resilient members i in the form oi strips oi ielt so that when these two sections are telescoped together one section will be held in adjusted position in respect to the other. The head is provided with a irnolo ill which can be grasped by the hand. tor moving, the head in reerect to the tubular body. While I have shown frictional members disposed in the grooves termed oi .telt .i do not "Wish to limit myseli to the use oi ielt or any construction oi frictional members as these members can he termed of various mate= rials in various stays.

used for holding yarn cakes having different sized openings I employ a set of interchangeable sleeves A, B and C the Walls of which are formed of difierent thicknesses so that the diameter oi the body or the holder can be increased or decreased. The sleeves are adapted to be placed over the tubular body as shown so as to fit snug y within the opening of a yarn cake. These sleeves can he formed of any suitable material and the inter changeable set may consist oi any number oi sleeves desired, each sleeve having a wall of a different thickness from another sleeve and adapted to lit snugly over the body oithe holder.

ii. yarn calre holder constructed in accordance with my invention enables the same to be used for holding any and all of the yarn cakes now in use as means is provided for increasing the length of the holder and the size oi the body thereof.

Prior to my invention yarn calre holders were formed of sections which had no means oi" holding the sections together so that the holder could be used in various positions, and it will be seen from the construction herein shown that l have provided a very simple form oi cake holder formed of sections irictionolly held together in such a manner that the device permits oi hirh-sneed cone creel warping.

I claim:

1. a yarn caire holder comprising a circular plate having a circular opening, a tubular body secured within said opening, a head carrying a plug movahly mounted in said tubular be, a re movable sleeve encircling said body, said plus be ing provided with longitudinally disposed grooves, and resilient frictional members mounted in said grooves adapted to engage said tubular body tor holding said plug in adjusted position therein.

2. A yarn calre holder comprising a circular plate having; a circular opening, a tubular body secured Within said opening, a head carrying a pine movaioly mounted in said tubular body said plug being provided with longitudinally disposed grooves, and resilient irictional noernloers mounted in said grooves adapted to ens-age said tubular y tor holding said plus in adjusted position therein.
